The Day That I Became a CCIE

I tried to get Internet access in the Chennai airport to check my mail to see if i have received any mail from Cisco for my result. But, i couldn't find one. The plane took off at 1:15 and it took around 4 hours to reach back to Singapore. I tried to sleep on the plane but, i could only sleep for a few minutes on and off. I was so tired and didn't even happened to think about my outcome.

I reached to Singapore Changi Airport a little bit after 8am and i open my mail through mobile immediately after the flight was landed. I saw there was one familiar mail from Cisco saying that my score report is ready. Then, i started to have temptation to know my result ASAP. So, I rush into the terminal and looked for an Internet access point before i pass the immigration. I found one. I logged into my CCO account, fill up info for CCIE online login.. I wished myself good luck and press Login.. Once it went to the next page the first thing i see was "#" sign and a number. and i knew myself that i have made it through and bacame a CCIE.

Sorry, I should have put all the questions together but here they go. Q1 - How many hours do you think you've put on lab preparation?Q2 - Did you just use IPX material or as well some of INE or other source?Q3 - Did you use Dynamips or physical kit?Q4 - What would you say was the split % between reading theory and labbing?
